Chapt. 6
Difficulties

Hermione had not remembered at all what had happened the day before. All Hermione could remember was shouting, shouting of words, shouting of words that were 'I love you!' Hermione just rubbed her head thinking of it as just a dream. "W-where am I?" She asked unsure of where she was at the moment.
"You're in the hospital wing."
"Oh thank you...Malfoy!" Hermione yelled looking over and seeing Malfoy sitting next to her bed. "What are you doing here?" She asked confusingly just staring at Malfoy. "Well." She asked as he just sat quietly next to her bed not really saying anything other then a head nod and sigh.
"Just came in to check on you." He said.
"Why?" She questioned.
"I don't know! I just did alright!" he yelled at her.
"Alright! Gosh, you don't have to get so mean." She said.
"Well you started it."
"Oh grow up Malfoy!" Hermione said while crossing her arms. Malfoy just glared at her and got up. "Where do you think your going?" She asked him while sitting up more. "Are you going to answer or stomp away like a little kid!?"
"I'm leaving! I think I know when I'm not welcome." He said.
"Really, because I don't think you do." Hermione said. "If you did then you wouldn't bother me and my friends now would you!" She said.
"Oh boohoo Granger big deal!" He said.
"Don't mock me!" She said with anger.
"I'm not!"
"Leave then!" She yelled.
"I am!" He said while walking.
"I can still see you!" she said.
"I'm going!" He told her.
"Then go!" She yelled.
"Fine then!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Oh for Pete sakes SHUT UP!" Yelled a girl sleeping on one of the beds. "Really, could you two EVER shut up? It's like a mad house! You're driving me bonkers!" She said while grasping the two ends of her head. "Draco just leave. And Granger please put a cork in it!" She said and laid down.
"Gosh...didn't have to get so bossy." Hermione mumbled.
"I know geez..." Draco Mumbled as well.
"Shut it!" The girl yelled again.
Draco and Hermione just rolled there eyes. Draco left the room but not before slamming the door rather hardly. Hermione just glared at the door for awhile. "You do know looks can't' kill right?" Said that girl from before.
"Really, and how would you know?" Hermione asked her.
"Because if they did, you and your boyfriend would be dead by now." She said.
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Really? Weird, by the way he was concerned about you I thought he would be."
"What do you mean?"
"Never mind."
Hermione looked a bit taken back by this. "Hey can I ask you a question?" Hermione asked the girl. The girl just starred at her as if wondering if she should accept. The girl just nodded slightly to Hermione. "How do you know mine and Dra-- I mean Malfoy's name." Hermione asked.
"Well that's obvious."
"It is. How?"
"Well one I'm in the same house as Draco. And two being you're apart of the 'golden trio'." She said in a matter a fact tone. Hermione just let out a small 'oh'. "Sorry about the label but everyone in Syletherin calls you it, well not just you? The others as well, you know Potter and Weasly." She said trying to make it sound innocent.
"Well then, since you know me, then who are you?" She asked her.
"Me?" She asked.
"Yes you."
"Oh well I'm Cybil, Cybil Westing of the Westing Manor and Corp." She said. Hermione's eyes widened. Hermione could not believe she was sitting in the same room even talking to one of the heirs of a huge corporation! Cybil noticed her reaction and just rolled her eyes. "Oh please do not tell me you're going to treat me different because of my mom and dad!?" She asked.
"N-no..."
"Alright...?"
"I'm not!"
"Alright! I believe you...geez..."
"So..." Cybil started. "What's the deal with you and Draco?" She asked.
"W-what do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"Don't act dumb Granger. I know alot about what goes on at this school." She said in a matter a fact voice again.
"Well, I still don't know what your talking abo--"
"Granger! Draco said he loved you! Don't you remember! I mean that is why your here!" She said.
"It is?" Hermione said wondering then she remembered. "It is!" She shouted surprisingly.
"Yep." Cybil said.
"So why are you here?" She asked.
"Me?"
"Yes Westing's you!"
U-uh...W-well..." She stuttered. "It's my arm!' She said rather quickly. "My arm hurts alot." She said while moving her arms to so me how much it hurt. "And I came here just to get some medicine...that's all." She said with a nervous laugh. Hermione just stared at her and decided against herself to question Cybil more.
"Alright then if you say so."
"I do say so!"
"Alright...I'm not judging."
"Not saying you were..."
"You want to know something?"
"Sure why not. Shoot."
"You're awfully nice for a Syletherin..."
"So I've been told..." She said and rolled her eyes.
They both just looked at each other and laughed.
"So is it difficult being a Syletherin?"
"Not really. It's more of a difficulty trying to act mean and tough! Like Draco."
Hermione just burst out laughing. "Okay Malfoy is mean. But I would never say 'tough'." She said and laughed. "To think. The idea of Malfoy strong? That's a laugh." Hermione said while holding her stomach.
"Well he's tough mentally!" Cybil said.
"How?"
"All the crap his parents dish out on him. It just slides off." She said. "He says when this year ends. He's going to buy his own house! Or even be a novelist! How exciting!" She said while clasping her hands together in joy.
"Why would Malfoy want to be a novelist? It'll probably just talk about how muggleborns are disgusting" Hermione said to her. "I mean Malfoy has so much money he won't even have to work!" Hermione said a bit angered.
"You shouldn't judge him you know!" Cybil snapped.
"And why not." Hermione snapped back.
"Because he really is a sweet person!" She said.
"And how would you know that!"
"Because I'm his friend and I know these things."
"Really, tell me what it is you know?" She said.
"Well I know he's human--"
"Barely."
"And that he has feelings--"
"Ha!"
"And I heart!"
"That's frozen!"
"Like yours!'
"What!" Hermione shrieked.
"You herd me Granger!" Cybil said. "You think just because your head girl and a prefect that you run this school!" She said. "But you don't!" She yelled "And you don't have a right passing judgment on others like you do!"
"And neither does Malfoy!"
"I know he doesn't!" She said. "But were Syletherin!" She yelled. "Its how were raised! Granger you were raised that if you screw up that there's always a second chance! We were raised that if we screw up that were dead!" She said. "And I'm sorry that Draco is so mean to you! But we have to act that way so are parents might actually think something of us other then a waste of sperm and egg!" She yelled quiet loudly.
Hermione could not believe these words that this underclassman was saying to her. Hermione just held her breath and bit her tongue not wanting to say more. "Exactly." Cybil said while getting dressed. "I'll be leaving." She said while graving some medicine. "Oh and by the way you talk in your sleep." She said.
"And this Ronald person sounds a bit stupid." She said and head towards the door. When she was there it was suddenly swung open. "Professor Snape. What brings you here?" She asked.
"Shut it Westing's"
"Yes sir!"
"Hello Professor Snape."
"Ah...Miss Granger. So sorry to hear you in the hospital wing. Well I just came to get Draco's medicine he seemed to have left it here." He said and graved a little green vile from the tray. "Oh yes and Miss Westing's please come here." He said gesturing over to Cybil. Cybil slowly walked over to Professor Snape.
When she did he graved her by the back of the arm and twisted her around and whispered in her ears. "Next time your arm hurts come to me and not the school nurse. Because, if she ever found out the 'real' reason for the pain on your arm. Well let's just say you would wish it was your parents or the 'you-know-what' who would punish you and not him." He said and let go of her arm. Cybil just put her head down slightly.
"Y-yes sir. M-my apologies sir. I will do that next time sir." She said.
"Well then, why are you still here? Go to class. Now!" He said. "And stop the insufferable stutter it's annoying!" He yelled. She just graved her stuff and scurried out of the hospital wing. Hermione just glared at him. He simply just rolled his eyes. "Really Granger everyone knows looks can't kill." He said while walking to the door.
"And how is that Sir." She asked unemotionally.
"Because If they did." He paused and opened the door. "You'd all be dead."
Hermione's eyes widened. What did he mean by that she wondered? Hermione had to give it to Cybil, they do have it harder. Maybe she was wrong to judge Malfoy likes she does. But Hermione just sighed and forgot about it. When she gets back to her classes life is going to be difficult.
